Explosions and fires that occurred in the blending/mixing tanks of fuel with naphtha to produce pertalite type fuel were initiated by a leak in the tank wall. Based on the results of observations, inspections and tests that have been carried out, the leak of the tank which is the cause of the explosion and fire is the result of the reaction of the tank wall in the weld joint area with base metal (HAZ) which is susceptible to corrosion with acidic tank fluid contents (pH- 5) so as to form an acidic and corrosive environment in the tank with the formation of H2S as a corrosion initiator, reinforced by the discovery of corrosion products in the form of MnS, FeS2, and FeS compounds, elements (S), and the appearance of fractography in the form of white dots indicating uniform corrosion if it occurs for a long time can erode the tank wall and form a leak hole.

In this work, the microstructure characteristics of corrosion products of reinforcement under a corrosive environment with chloride, carbonation and the combination of chloride-carbonization were studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy/energy spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The results indicate that the outside of the passivation film reacts with the cement slurry to produce Fe–SiO4 in all three corrosive environments. The inner side is not completely corroded. The morphology of the corrosion is different in the three environments. In a chloride environment, corrosion products have obvious cracks, and the local layered structure is dense. In a carbonation environment, the surface of the steel corrosion shows a uniform granular structure and loose texture. With the combination of chloride and combination, the surface of the structural layer of steel corrosion was uneven and accompanied by protrusions, cracking and spalling occurred. The composition of the corrosion substances in the three corrosion environments are mainly composed of FeO, Fe3O4, Fe2O3 and Fe–SiO4. The content of iron oxide increases from a chloride salt, carbonization to the composite environment, indicating that the corrosion degree intensifies successively.

The main cause of failure of CANDU-type fuel bundles during their operation is the Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC). This mechanism appears in presence of the simultaneous action of a corrosive agent and of mechanical stress. The presence of precipitated zirconium hydride platelets can affect the propagation of the SCC cracks. For this reason, we studied the influence of content of hydrogen on the initiation and the propagation of SCC crack. To do this study, some Crings samples with different content of hydrogen (100-500ppm) were exposed in a corrosive environment containing iodine (10-4g/cm2) at 320°C. The stress state, the concentration of the corrosive environment and the temperature were maintained constant. For comparison, in the same conditions some as-received samples were exposed. To relieve the morphology of the precipitates of the zirconium hydride the samples were been investigated using metallographic method, before and after thermal treatments. While before the experiment a circumferential orientation of the hydrides precipitates was observed, after the thermal treatments a reorientation of hydrides in a radial direction was been remarked. Investigation by SEM method revealed the propagation modes of cracks in the case of the as-received samples and it was put in evidence the existence of the microcracks on the inner surface of tested samples.

Service induced cracking in Alloy 600 has been known for a long time, having been first observed in the 1980’s in steam generator tubing and small bore piping, and later, in 1991, in reactor vessel control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) head penetrations. Other than steam generator tubing, which cracked within a few years of operation, the first Alloy 600 cracking was in base metal of Combustion Engineering small bore piping, followed closely by CE pressurizer heater sleeves. The first reactor vessel CRDM penetrations (base metal) to crack were in France, US plants found CRDM cracking several years later. Three plants have discovered weld metal cracking at the outlet nozzle to pipe weld region. This was the first known weld metal cracking. This paper will chronicle the development of service-induced cracking in these components, and compare the behavior of welds as opposed to base metal, from the standpoint of time to crack initiation, growth rate of cracks, and their impact on structural integrity. In addition, a discussion of potential future trends will be provided.

Purpose – This paper aims to develop an electrochemical dechlorination method for large objects in a short time, which were for a long time in the sea. Traditionally, in conservation, chlorides are extracted from marine iron artifacts using complete immersion of those objects in alkaline solutions with or without electrolysis. However, these techniques are time-consuming and very costly, especially when applied to large marine artifacts such as cannons and anchors. Design/methodology/approach – An appropriate sponge was chosen based on resistance to NaOH and the rate of exacted chlorides. Application of electrochemical dechlorination in situ and removal of chloride were measured by the scanning electron microscope (SEM)-EDAX method on the corrosion products and by titration of the electrolysis solution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) method is used for identification of corrosion products before and after application of electrochemical chloride extraction. Findings – The electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) method is applied against the corrosion of reinforced concrete. From the authors’ research, it is obvious that ECE can successfully extract chlorides from dried large metallic objects exported from the sea. The method of ECE removes the majority of chlorides from the metal during conservation treatment so that the application of organic coating will allow the object to remain stable over a long period. Originality/value – A new methodology was developed for dechlorination of metallic objects exported from the sea in a short time and thus the consumption of chemical reagents was cut down.

A case study was conducted on the cooling pipe of a precooler which had been used in a 70-MPa hydrogen station demonstration project. The cooling pipe consisted of a main pipe, a mechanical joint pipe and a mechanical joint. The main and mechanical joint pipes had been joined using TIG welding. Through chemical composition analysis, microstructure observation and Vickers hardness measurement, it was revealed that the main and mechanical joint pipes had been manufactured from SUS316L and that 316L was the filler metal used for TIG welding. Round-bar specimens were machined out of the main pipe in order to investigate the tensile properties of the base metal. On the other hand, both round-bar specimen without reinforcement and square-bar specimens with reinforcement were fabricated from the weld-joint. Using the three types of specimens, slow strain rate tensile tests were performed in 0.1 MPa nitrogen gas and in 115 MPa hydrogen gas at a temperature of −40 °C. Reduction of area (RA), φ, for the round base-metal specimen, the round weld-joint specimen and the square weld-joint specimen were respectively, 83.5 %, 71.3 % and 81.4 % in nitrogen gas, whereas the related values in hydrogen gas were 60.1 %, 61.3 % and 40.1 %. In other words, the RA for the three types of specimens was smaller in hydrogen gas than in nitrogen gas. Dimples were formed on the fracture surfaces of the three specimen types in nitrogen gas, whereas both dimples and quasi-cleavages were formed in hydrogen gas.

Tensile and fatigue properties were evaluated for base and welded type 316LN stainless steel. Welding methods were GTAW (308L, Ar environment) and GTAWN (316L, Ar + N2 environment). Yield strength of weld joint was higher than that of base metal but elongation of weld joint was lower than that of base metal. UTS of weld joint was slightly lower than that of base metal. Yield strength and elongation with welding method were almost same. Fatigue life of weld joint was lower than that of base metal but fatigue strength of weld joint was higher than that of base metal. Ferrite content was increased with welding. Fatigue life welded by GTAWN was better than that of GTAW at RT and 600°C. This fatigue life behavior was consistent with the behavior of ferrite content.
